I’ll say this once: acquire this book. It’s difficult to select a short & coherent portion to excerpt for our purposes here, but this’ll suffice:
“When I walk into the white room I am alone, but I am alone with my:
body
ambition
ideas
passions
needs
memories
goals
prejudices
distractions
fears.
The last two—distractions and fears—are the dangerous ones… Let me tell you my five big fears:
- People will laugh at me.
- Someone has done it before.
- I have nothing to say.
- I will upset someone I love.
- Once, executed, the idea will never be as good as it is in my mind.”
